I'm trying to create a cooldown effect similar to those used by most MMORPGs for skills or spells. Like in wow, your skills become faded out when used. And they gradually become visible again in a radial manner. Anyone have an idea of how to create this effect in flash?
View 2 RepliesThere are two objects on the stage and I find the distance between them. Using tan and atan i need to find the angle at which one object has to move in to reach the other. Heres what I have[code]...
View 1 RepliesSo it has been posed to me to create a Radial Gradient Blur on a still frame of a video. I wanted to ask the community how they would go about doing this after posing my own solution.
Here is the concept solution to me:
1. Create a bitmap from the still frame
2. Create a gradient filled shape with alpha from 0-100, center out.
3. Apply a blur filter to the bitmap made from the video still
4. Set the bitmaps mask to the gradient filled shape
5. Position and overlay the newly created/masked image over the video itself to generate the gradient blur effect.
EDIT: Here is a link to a good example for what I am trying to achieve. I know it can be done.

View 8 RepliesI have a circle mask over a photo. I'm trying to get it so the edges fade out to black. Currently, it just is a solid white circle. It's a movie clip and has a radial blur and is motion tweened. The alpha channel on the radial blur is 100% on the first point and 0% on the last. Can a spotlight with radial blur/fade be done without adding code or actionscript?
I've attached a photo of what I have now along with what the movieclip I'm using.
I'm on CS5, but can only use AS2, if actionscript is necessary.
I'd like to add text precentage to the radial preloader below. I know a conventional preloader uses this script to show the text % loaded:

I'm coding a game where I have a skill that has around 2 minutes of cooldown, so I'd like to have a neat cooldown animation like the one in World of Warcraft. But instead of getting an artist to draw one, and me having to put it on A LOT of frames, I was wondering, how it can be done by using AS3? The cooldown is a square kinda like rotating to a full shape.

View 8 RepliesI have a graphic symbol of a circle that has a radial gradient fill of yellow to red. All I want to do is have it change from yellow to red to red to yellow. I tried the advanced color settings but that doesnt quite do what I want. With the color settings.. it changes the complete tint of the object. I want it to look like it is tweening the gradient not the object. So if the object had a yellow center with a red outer edge I want it to chenge to a red center with a yellow outer edge. How do I accomplish this?
View 1 RepliesI've been trying to learn just now how to dynamically create a radial gradient in a circle. All the pages that I can find use the command 'beginGradientFill', but when I use it I get the following messages:
Warning: 1060: Migration issue: The method beginGradientFill is no longer supported. For more information, see the Graphics class..
and
TypeError: Error #1006: beginGradientFill is not a function.
Unfortunately I can't seem to find the replacement, or any other pages that describe an alternative to that function. What is the way to do a radial gradient now?
I need to make a radial animation tween like a pie chart. I want it to start as a full pie and as the animation plays the pie gets smaller. It seems simple but I think I have to use actionscript to accomplish. Though I have no idea of how? I guess it has to do with a lot of math and using the actionscript drawing api.
View 1 RepliesIn my program i need it to display an image along with some facts at the click of a radial button.I have it set up now where it displays the image with a radial button and loads a new one if i click a new button but it keeps the same fact text instead of changing it.have the text in a if else statement:
if (imageArray[0]) { facts_txt.text = "Inner Planet" + "
" + "Name Meaning: Messenger." + "
" + "Name Origins: Mercury is named after the Roman God of Trade." + "[code]....
Indeed, i would like to inrease the RGB values of my radial gradient of my shape every 1 or 3 frames. I did it manually, but its very long. So i would like to know if anyone can help me to make it with code, it's will be most efficient and fast. I've already created my shape with a radial gradient. Now i would like just to increase the RGB values of my radial gradient.[code]
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create spinning rays in actionscript to use in my website.Below is the rough idea of what i'm trying to create.Is it possible to create absolutely with 0 images.Following is the actionscript code in which i couldn't figure out how to add gradient, transperant background and little radial gradient to create glow effect.
Code:
function CreateRays():Shape {
var ray:Shape = new Shape();
ray.graphics.beginFill(0xFF9900,.5);
ray.graphics.lineStyle(1,0xFF9900,.5);
[code]....
If you paste above code in 1st frame of your scene with nothing on your scene, it will give you sweet rotating rays!
